Given the spooky time of year, I was thinking about the beautifully designed zombie head  13th Street bowling balls by illustrator Oliver Paass for ad agency Jung von Matt 2011 TV promotion for German Horror Channel 13th Street. This got me wondering about scary bowling balls and which, if any, were available to buy.

12 Scary Bowling Balls

But first, a look at the promotion.
The 13th Street Bowling balls by Oliver Paass:

While not quite as impressive as those created for the 13th Street promotion, there are several available. Predominantly for the casual or entry level bowler are bowling balls from various manufacturers that are printed with all that is creepy – from Spiders to Zombies. The same artist, Oliver Paas, created the art for some of these (those that are signed Oliver Paint).

Here are twelve of the best.
